Abstract
The entropy per baryon is studied in the strong coupling large dimensi on d limit of lattice QCD with staggered femrions. The partition funct ion is calculated for non-zero chemical potential and temperature usin g the 1/d expansion. It is found that the entropy per baryon ratio is almost continuous across the transition from the the quark-gluon to th e hadronic phase. The relevance of these results for heavy ion collisi ons is discussed.
